Purpose
Attempt single-bottle single trial conditioning using a CS+ which is iso-preferred to water (Koolaid + 0.05% saccharin, based on Golden data from experiment GI -- see chapter 3 of Golden's dissertation).
Will also characterize a US dose response using 0,4, or 8% glucose to determine a range of conditioning strengths (since KA + 0.2% saccharin + 8% glucose looks too strong to see any modulation by eg sodium buytrate).
Agenda
n=18 male and female rats (TH-GFP rats from Trombley). Male and female alternate even and odd id numbers (CHECK which is which). 3 groups: 0% glucose US (rats DMD01-06), 4% glucose US (rats DMD07-12), and 8% glucose US (rats DMD13-18)
Baseline
- Placed on food and water restriction
Daily routine:
- Rats weighed.
- give measured ration of chow to maintain 90% initial bodyweight
- given 30 min access to water vs 8% maltodextrin (2 bottles) from 2pm to 230pm
- bottle sides alternated each day
Continue baseline until latency to drink and intakes are stabilized.
Notes: use maldodextrin to encourage consumption, and 2 bottles to train to make choice. Start chow ration at 25g, then adjust to maintain ~90% of baseline weight
Conditioning Day
- CS+ = 0.2% Koolaid + 0.05% saccharin
- in 4 liters, 8 g Cherry Kool-Aid + 2 g sodium saccharin
- US = glucose at 0, 4 or 8%
- 4% = 80g glucose / 2 liters
- 8% = 160g glucose / 2 liters
Conditioning Procedure:
- Weigh rats.
- 30 min access to CS+/glucose = 0.2% Koolaid + 0.05% saccharin + either 0% glucose, or 4% glucose, or 8% glucose.
- At end of 30 min access, return ad lib food and (weighed) water.
Extinction Tests
24 h after conditioning, Two Bottle Preference Tests of CS+ vs water are begun for at least 6 (?) days
- Weigh rats.
- 2 bottles with 24 h access:
- bottles weighed and refilled daily
- water
- CS+ = 0.2% Koolaid + 0.05% saccharin
- in 4 liters, 8 g Cherry Kool-Aid + 2 g sodium saccharin
- alternate bottle sides each day
- ad lib access to chow throughout
